What your applicant does

Six steps from "I want that job" to ready.

Click through. Real screenshots of the course, taken in a demo office with demo applicants.

Join with your code, then set the goal

The applicant signs up with your invite code. The first question is their APT score: under 31, they start on the Road to 31English first. Then the goal screen opens with Mission one: become an Alpha (AFQT 50 or higher; a Bravo, 31 to 49, can enlist, but an office can ship only about 34% Bravos; under 31 is a retake). They pick up to five MOSs, or let Find my MOS suggest jobs from a few honest questions. Before they test, the screen shows the line scores their picks need together, the Alpha target, a target for each ASVAB section, and the three sections to ace first. It also tells them plainly: no job is guaranteed. You work to get them a job in their top three, but it depends on the fiscal year and the openings when they contract.

The benchmark

Nine ASVAB-style subtests, up to three hours on the clock (179 timed minutes), and it can be split across sittings. It gives a starting estimate of every Marine Corps line score, shown as a range, and the goal screen then shows those scores against every target their picks need.

Benchmark results: a range for every subtest

The Mission Board

Once the picks and the benchmark are in, the Mission Board becomes home. The plan is built from their gaps, their MOS picks and their test date, with milestones named after recruit training: Receiving, three phases, the Crucible, the EGA. It re-plans after the benchmark and after a short mock.

Narrated lessons

Each lesson plays like a short video: a narrated deck with captions, the exact figure drawn for the numbers in the problem, and a written summary to review. Click through some real slides.

Drills and checks

Unlimited drills (difficulty rises as they go, no calculator) and an eight-question check per lesson, 80% to pass. Math and mechanical questions are generated fresh, with the figure drawn for the exact numbers, and every lesson has at least 25 distinct questions.

The Crucible and the EGA

Three checkpoints along the way, then a full mock test. When the latest mock reaches the line scores their first MOS pick needs, they earn an EGA certificate to show you, with a code anyone can verify. If not, the plan rebuilds around what is still short and they take another mock.

Under 31 on the APT

Not turned away. Put on the Road to 31.

At the first visit, the office gives the APT, the short test that predicts the AFQT within about 10 points. Under 31, an applicant used to leave with advice and nothing to study from, came back, retook it, and too often gave up. Now the first thing the course asks is their APT score. Under 31, it locks the regular course and gives them one job: get to 31.

  1. 1 · The plan

    The basics, in order

    24 short narrated lessons over the four AFQT subtests (Arithmetic Reasoning, Math Knowledge, Word Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension), from whole numbers and context clues up to percents, equations and inference. Three phases, each closed by a timed checkpoint.

    • Their weak spots, section by section, and the lessons to re-drill
    • How close they are: their APT, their practice range, the 31 and 50 marks on one scale
  2. 2 · The ready check

    Our practice APT

    Thirty questions on the four AFQT subtests, timed like the real test, on three forms that take turns. Ready means the low end of their practice AFQT range is 31 or more. When it says ready, you get an email: send them in to retake the APT.

    • Not ready yet: it names the sections to work on next
    • Every practice APT stays on their page and on your board
  3. 3 · Unlocked

    A new APT of 31 or more

    They retake the APT at your office and enter the new score (or you do, with the APT button on your board). 31 or more opens the full course: the benchmark, their MOS goal and the study path toward an Alpha. Still under 31? The Road to 31 stays, with everything they have done.

    • The newest APT always decides
    • You see every APT score and who entered it
The Road to 31 page: where the applicant stands, the ready check and the basics path (demo applicant)The Road to 31 on a phone (demo applicant)

The Road to 31 (demo applicant, RSS Demo). The first question after joining is the APT score.

English as a second language

A low score should mean a skill, not the English.

The ASVAB is only given in English. An applicant who knows the math but reads English slowly will score low, and nobody can tell why. So the course asks one more question at the start: is English your first language? If not, they take a short English check before any scored test.

  1. 1 · The English check

    24 questions, 20 minutes

    The English the ASVAB is written in: test directions ("most nearly", "EXCEPT"), numbers in words, the math words that pick the operation ("per", "remaining", "how many more"), common test words, sentences, short reading, and science and machine words. 70% to pass, on three forms that take turns.

  2. 2 · Until they pass

    English for the ASVAB

    Eight lessons on exactly that English, with drills. Each one has a short Spanish glossary and guide: the only Spanish lesson content on the site. The benchmark, practice APT and mocks wait until the check is passed, so no score is lowered by English alone. Lessons and drills stay open.

  3. 3 · On your board

    You see it

    An EN chip on the applicant's row: check due, the score, or passed. A nudge in two taps sends them to the English check.

Everything else, every lesson, drill and test, stays in English, like the real ASVAB. The Spanish switch changes the menus and instructions only.

Try it

Four real practice questions. Tap an answer.

These come straight from the course's drills. Original items in the ASVAB style; none of them is a real ASVAB question.

Arithmetic Reasoning · AR-06

A platoon hikes at a steady 3 miles per hour for 1.5 hours. How far does it hike?

4.5 miles. Distance = rate × time: 3 × 1.5 = 4.5. The lesson drills the one formula in all three forms, plus decimal hours and the 24-hour clock.
Electronics Information · EI-03
6 Ω8 Ω28 V

A 28 V battery drives two series resistors, 6 Ω and 8 Ω. What current flows in the circuit?

2 A. In series, resistances add: 6 + 8 = 14 Ω. Ohm's law: I = V ÷ R = 28 ÷ 14 = 2 A. The wrong answers are the classic traps (one resistor only, multiplying).
Mechanical Comprehension · MC-05
A (driver)Bcrossed belt

Pulley A drives pulley B through the crossed belt shown. A turns clockwise. Which way does B turn, and faster or slower than A?

Counterclockwise, slower. A crossed belt reverses direction; the bigger pulley turns slower. Open belt keeps direction.
Word Knowledge · WK-05 "Words the Corps uses"

The clerk will expedite the paperwork for an early ship date. Expedite most nearly means:

Speed up. An early ship date needs faster paperwork; delay is the antonym trap. WK lessons teach the words orders and briefs actually use.

The applicant board

  • Who took the benchmark, who is studying, where each applicant is on the Mission Board, and who is on the Road to 31.
  • Benchmark and latest mock as AFQT ranges with an Alpha / Bravo label, sortable by ship date or progress.
  • MOS fit per applicant: which of their picks the latest estimate reaches.
  • A Programs button on each applicant opens the Programs Calculator with their scores and MOS picks filled in.
  • A table on a monitor, cards on a phone.
Printable invite card with QR (demo code)

Invite codes and cards

  • Create a code on your board and label it ("Nov pool").
  • Print cards with a QR code, four to a page, or a poster. Or text the join link.
  • The applicant sees "From <your first name> · <office>" so they know it came from you.
  • Applicants can only join with a recruiter's code.
Sending an encouragement nudge (RSS Demo)

Encouragement in two taps

  • Templates written in a Marine voice, plus a personal line from you.
  • Emailed to the applicant; replies come back to you. Two of them are for the Road to 31: one to keep them going, one when they are ready to retake the APT.
  • The course also has weekly pace reminders and an optional note for parents.
Real ASVAB scores against the practice estimate (demo applicant)

Real scores close the loop

  • After MEPS or a PiCAT, the applicant adds their real scores; you see estimate vs real on the applicant board.
  • This is how the estimates get checked. We don't know the accuracy yet, and the site says so.
  • After 50 real results, the site publishes how often the real score fell inside the range (self-reported by applicants).
Office comparison (RSS Demo)

Office comparison

  • Your office against others in the district and nationwide.
  • Aggregates only: no applicant names, and small offices are protected.

The Road to 31

  • An applicant under 31 on the APT shows as Road to 31: basics lessons done, their APT, their latest practice APT range.
  • Ready to retake lights up, and you get an email, when the practice APT's low end reaches 31.
  • The APT button records a score from the office. 31 or more opens the full course.

What it is, and what it isn't.

Free, for recruitersNo cost to recruiters, applicants or families. No ads. Sign-up is for Marine Corps recruiters (.mil email, or a personal email approved after a quick call); applicants join with their recruiter's code.
UnofficialNeither the United States Marine Corps nor any other component of the Department of Defense has approved, endorsed, or authorized this service. It is not part of the official ASVAB program. If your command has guidance on third-party tools, follow it.
One free resource among severalUse it alongside March2Success, Khan Academy and the study guides your applicants already have. What it adds is the tracking: you see how each applicant is doing, subtest by subtest.
Applicants share by choiceWhen an applicant joins with your code, they're told, and agree, that you'll see their progress. APT and real ASVAB scores are added by the applicant (or by you), never copied from official records.
No job is guaranteedThe site says it plainly: the Marine Corps cannot guarantee a specific MOS. You work to get them a job in their top three, but it depends on the fiscal year and the openings when they contract, and even then things can change. Their best shot is a higher score: an Alpha.
Applicant, not pooleeEveryone on the course is an applicant: they become a poolee when they contract at MEPS, after the ASVAB. The site uses the word recruiters use.
Mistakes get reportedEvery lesson, drill question and test review has a quiet "Report a problem" link. A wrong answer key or a confusing question comes to us with exactly what the applicant saw, and we fix it.
No real ASVAB questionsLive ASVAB items are controlled by DoD. Every item here is original, written to the official format.
Estimates, as rangesPractice estimates, never official scores. Qualification is MEPS's and your command's call.
